Heading into Week 8 Fantasy Football, wide receiver Quincy Enunwa is a must-start against the Cleveland Browns.

The New York Jets hit the road in Week 8 action to face the Cleveland Browns. Now, this could easily be a trap game for Gang Green but all signs point that they should have a field day against the only team in the NFL yet to win a game this season. What should fantasy football owners expect out of wide receiver Quincy Enunwa in this matchup?

With the Jets going back to quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick due to Geno Smith‘s torn ACL injury, he should be able to bounce back after his abysmal start. The truth be told, Fitzpatrick is on a relatively short leash and has to effectively play well enough to keep his starting job. This all points to Fitzpatrick more than likely putting up the best game of the season so far.

Enunwa has been one of the better receiving options on the Jets besides Brandon Marshall. Due to the unfortunate injury to wide receiver Eric Decker, Enunwa is the next big receiving threat that has continued to develop over the season.

Since the defense of the Browns will more than likely focus on Marshall, this is the perfect time to have Enunwa do what he does best and take the top off of defenses. Last week, Enunwa put up a solid  performance that will undoubtedly make him continue the momentum against the Browns.

Against the Baltimore Ravens in Week 7, Enunwa totaled 73 receiving yards, two receptions, and a touchdown. It was the first time since Week 1 that Enunwa scored a touchdown and well, he should easily have one or two scores against the Browns.

Fantasy football owners should start Enunwa this week either as their WR2 or FLEX option. The defensive secondary of the Browns won’t be able to lock in on both Marshall and Enunwa so all signs point that Enunwa should get his fair share of passes coming his way.

Overall, start Enunwa with confidence this week. Not only will he deliver some very good fantasy points but should be one of the reasons why the Jets beat the Browns this week to earn their third win of the season.
